re-coating armstrong bracket????

[warthog5]

The coating is flaking because of electrolosis. I was planning on sanding it down, neutralizing it with a chemical product, and then priming and spraying it with awlcraft 2000. What do you think? I though about powder coating it, but I heard if you get a chip in the finish, it will have to be redone totally. That wasn't all that inviting.....

This is a perfect candite to have sandblasted. It will clean everything up and etch the alum in prep to hold the primer very well.

Here's some thing's to think about when you reinstall it.

Install a rudder style aniode on the tub/body. Be sure not to paint the small area that the aniode makes contact with.
Install Delren washers under your stainless washer's to isolate the 2 metal's. Coat the bolt's with Tef Gel.
